I think you need to make an appointment with a funny farm official, Bill. This one is really out there.

Perhaps they could be shamed enough to re-name their mascot the Arkansas State Kuhns



Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Yes. Bill is the name I use when I go completely brain dead. I would make the excuse that it was really late, however...it wasn't really late. Who knows why I used the name Bill. I certainly don't.

Re: tongue-in-cheek letter-to-the-editor
I agree that "Bill" was a great movie. Mickey Rooney did such a great job showing the humanity of Bill while not sugarcoating the problems that Bill actually had...the elephant wrote:
I was thinking more along the lines of William "Bill for Short" Sackter…
("Bill" is a great story and a masterful performance and I was just being funny and not actually making fun of the real Mr. Sackter.)
I had an uncle that I wish could have been a situation like Bill was. But, they didn't know about that sort of thing then.....
